    @Bovidae Woodcock was 35 in 2015

    And broke down in a pool game, missing all the playoff matches. Ironically, replaced by Moody.

    Followed by Crockett going down and Manu coming in ... only uncapped RWC winner in history!

    @ploughboy if ALB had managed to string as many games together (more than a couple?) as RI has this year where he was one of only a handful to perform then that might be true...but i think RI has earnt a bit of forgiveness this season

    Maybe so but that still doesn't make him a world-class centre.

    i think his performance this year make him one...at very least the best option we have at 13 currently

    Pretty solid. Makeup of the bench will be crucial, as we discovered last weekend

    That last 10 minutes will benefit the ABs next year. What a shock.
    The forwards were brilliant.

    The big work ons I reckon are:

    1. Richie M - Jordie applying pressure by kicking long at times
    2. Cut out the dinky high risk defensive chip kicks
    3. Backline defence.
    4. Giving Jordan game time at 15
    5. BB impact sub

    I'll tell you who else has the attributes they're apparently looking for and who might get a run at 6 now that Matera is gone - is Mitch Dunshea.

    When we he get the chance with the Saders squad as it is?

    Cullen Grace would have to be the man to get the opportunity, can play at 6/8 and can kind of cover lock in a super pinch (WC squad).

    I'm interested to see how Ah Kuoi goes at 6 at SR level. He's a similar size to S Barrett and probably more mobile.

    @gt12 I think the Saders could easily do similar to what they did last year, with Blackadder first choice 7 and Grace first choice 8.

    Gardiner and Dunshea could share duties at 6 now Matera is gone.
